For Harry, England and St. George

Ward is off to a foreign land today. We know why he goes, but it's still hard. Our job is not to worry, but to pray for him and all of our troops, for safety and strength, and especially discernment.

I'm turning to the liturgy, #25 For those in the Armed Forces of our Country:


Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad (Especially Ward). Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


And all of Psalm 91!
